Big Daddy (aka President Trump according to Mark Rutte) has played a blinder with NATO - apparently getting them to agree to buy $1 billion of US weapons to supply to Ukraine. He's really sticking it big time to his European allies.

Right now the President of Switzerland is over in the USA for her personal 'humbling session' to beg for reduced tariffs on Swiss chesse and cuckoo clocks.

As Big Daddy said:

Think of all the lies I got to put up with! Ain't that mendacity?

Having to pretend stuff you don't think or feel or have any idea of? Having for instance to act like I care for Europe!—I haven't been able to stand the sight, sound, or smell of Europeans for forty years now!

And as he might have said at the recent NATO summit:

What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death.

And right enough, that mendacity has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Russians and Ukranians.

Take a tip from Councillor Duxbury and think on't.
